Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the hot pot to evaporate any excess moisture.
In a small saucepan, heat the butter and heavy cream over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm. Do not let it boil.
Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. For smoother potatoes, beat them until creamy.
Slowly mix in the warmed butter and cream mixture, followed by the prepared horseradish.
Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, tasting and adjusting if needed.
Transfer the horseradish potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
